Carbon usually works too, slap a good bag of that in there, should take care of it...worth a good try

To get rid of the copper in my tank I used PolyFilters. They probably sell them at your LFS, if not you can get them on I put one in my filter and replaced it after two weeks, that was enough to get rid of the copper.IT IS AGAINST OUR #1 RULE TO POST LINKS TO COMPETITORS SITES...MR.SALTY

Depending on the type of copper you used,you may very well NEVER keep a reef in that tank again.Most copper treatments will soak into the rock,substrate,and even the silicone that is holding the tank together.It will then slowly leach this copper back into the water.This is impossible to clear out of a tank...You will need to check to see if your treatment is formulated to stay suspended in the water.If so,then you may have hope.But not till alot of time,and water changes are done.If you used the "true" copper,then you will need to start all over with new rock,substrate,and a new tank...
